Fulham appoint Peter Grant as first-team coach

Grant, 48, will work under boss Felix Magath, who described the former Scotland international as "the right choice to join us as we build for the future."

Having made more than 350 appearances for Celtic, Grant played for Norwich City and Reading before a spell as player-coach at Bournemouth.

He was assistant boss at West Ham before an unsuccessful year as Norwich manager, since which he has worked under Tony Mowbray at West Brom and Celtic, and Alex McLeish at both Birmingham and Aston Villa.
